Interesting travel flying service in Alaska
I have just found one very interesting and promising way to explore endless lands of Alaska. What about a trip over the glaciers, mountains, and islands across Kachemak Bay in our fully restored classic Alaskan seaplane.
If this type of journey fits your interests, Kachemak Bay Flying Service is what you need. On our one-hour scenic flight you will fly over glaciers and ice fields, past ridges that are the summer home of Alaskan mountain goats and black bears. You will fly down green valleys, past waterfalls, through fjords where remote cabins dot the shoreline. There are quite often wild eagles, sea otters, and seals which you can see from the plane.
I am sure you will be obsessed by the atmosphere of misty fjords, crystal glaciers or sightseeings like giant humpback whales, breaching high into the air, then crashing back against the sea.Here is map for Kachemak Bay Flying Service.

Best 5 cheap restaurants in Pasadena, California
About a week ago i had a conversation with a friend of mine who just settled in Pasadena, California, and without no sense we started to talk about food. He started to explain me how many good places for cheap food there are in Pasadena, so now i decided to make a list with best 5 cheap restaurants there.
I will start with Tonny’s Restaurant, which is one very good place for mexican food. It works 24 hour a day and they have a lot of interesting Mexican and breakfast dishes. You can get oxtail or catfish and eggs, seafood tostadas, shrimp omelettes, and of course the standard Mexican fare along with pancakes, french toast, sausage, bacon, horchata, etc.
Go to the Tonny’s Restaurant with Google Maps.
Second best in my list is Connal’s Burgers which offers traditional burgers and shakes. They have interesting menus including Grinder Submarine Sandwich, Connal’s Famous Original Hamburgers, Salads and French Dips.
Go to the Connal’s Burgers with Google Maps.
Third is ranked Lebanese Kitchen and it gets high accolades for several reasons. They serve Lot’s of food and it is very very tasty and inexpensive. The shish kebab were packed with flavor. The baba ganoush was smoky and yummy. I loved the stuffed grape leaves, while my friend claimed the falafel was the best she’d ever had.
Go to the Lebanese Kitchen with Google Maps.
The Forth place is for Wolfe Burger. This place doesn’t have the best burgers in town or anything, but they’re still decent enough to splurge on every now and then you’re in the mood to spend a lot more than usual on a burger, fries and coke. Some pluses of this place is the personal, people who works there are so friendly and make really tasty Veggie burgers and Buritos.
Go to Wolfe Burger with Google Maps.
The fifth place takes Sinbala, a great little Chinese eatery which serves the BEST Chinese sausages hands down. Of course the sausage is what everyone goes for, but the rest of the menu is great also. Large drink menu and the Taiwanese ice is one of the best you can order there for low cost.
Go to Sinbala with Google Maps.
I hope these places will come in handy if you need some fast, cheap and delicious food in Pasadena, California

Hopewell Rocks near New Brunswick
The Hopewell Rocks are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Rocks Provincial Park in New Brunswick. They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, Canada. Due to the exteme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the formations are covered in water twice a day. Howerver, it it is possible to view the formations from ground level at low tide.
Forever restless, the Bay of Fundy tides are in constant motion. As life ebbs and flows just beneath the surface, tidal waters rise and fall, and the shoreline continually evolves. This is the intrigue and uniqueness of the Bay of Fundy, where the highest tides in the world wash the shores twice daily, exposing life, creating life, sustaining life.
The formations consist of dark sedimentary conglomerate and sandstone rock. The large volume of water flowing into and out of the Bay of Fundy modifies the landscape surrounding it. Over centuries following the retreat of the last glaciers from the region after the previous ice age, the water has been eroding the base of the rock formations that were not removed as sediment to other parts of the Bay. As sea level rises, the tide and wave action work their way up the base of the rock formations giving them the sculped form. The spring and neap tides show the greatest variability where the tidal range is maximal and minimal. The vast sediment planes in the basin in Fundy support a variety of biological productivity. Various shore birds are often seen flocking to nest and feed in the area.
Tourism aside, the phenomenon is a must see for anyone in the Moncton area. We advise you to stay for a full tidal cycle to a full appreciation of the formation and the tidal range.
